3)On and off the field. Here’s what Addai had to say about Manning during the last half of the season: “He was getting all the young guys, getting everybody together. Peyton was being the kind of quarterback that you want to be in a tight situation. Whenever you’re in a bad situation, it’s just like a family, whoever is the head of the family and you’re in a crisis, the person that is supposed to lead, stands up and gives you the right direction. That is what Peyton was doing. No matter what the situation, come back Monday, let’s get back going. Everybody was following along. All the veterans were doing that, (and) all the young guys were seeing that.” While many fans don’t see it, Addai during five seasons has become one of the most well-respected players in the Colts’ locker room. His observations are always insightful and his views on the team typically give a good idea of what’s working. Taken in that vein, his words on Manning show a lot about why the Colts were able to make the post-season in some pretty difficult circumstances.
